My favorite time of the year...fall and football! Woohoo!! The hardest part of a football game is turning down all the yummy food and drinks. Despite my purchase of Summer Shandy, I wanted the rest of today's eats to be all Paleo. With that I present...Paleo Game Day!
First up. Deviled eggs. Usually an okay dish minus the mayo. Instead I used the yolk, mustard, chopped dill pickles and some of the pickle juice as well. Piped it into the shells and added salt and pepper on top. Perfect and lots of protein!
Next up is "ranch" dip. I've always heard of people using greek yogurt instead of sour cream for recipes. I have even used this myself, pre-paleo. Today I decided to go out on a limb and use a new product that I hadn't tried yet...coconut milk yogurt. I got the plain, hoping it would have a little sour taste. (like greek yogurt) WRONG! Yeesh. Ok so it wasn't THAT bad but it wasn't what I expected. I added the ranch seasoning anyways and sliced all my veggies. It didn't turn out as bad as I thought it might have, but I def need to play with this one a little bit. Maybe make it a sweet dip! :)
One of my favorites was this little guy. I had left over burgers that I had made the other night and a sweet potato. Perfect combo! I cut the sweet potato really small and sprinkled salt and cooked till tender. Cut up the burger into mini pieces and stabbed them both onto the same toothpick. It's all about using your resources and this was a HIT!
Brats Brats Brats. A gameday favorite. Not as American without the bun, but I worked really hard to make it yummy. I sliced the brat and laid them out. Then I mixed a majority mustard with some ketchup. Drizzled that over the brats and added the toothpicks. Voila! Super easy and lots of protein.
Hands down the favorite of the day! I made homemade almond flour chips. I miss chips and crackers so much! This was the perfect solution and not too hard. The recipe:
- 2 cups almond flour
- 2 egg whites
- 1/2t garlic powder
- 1/2t salt
- 1/2t cajun seasoning
Mix it all together, kneed a little, then place the dough between two pieces of parchment paper. Roll it thin and I mean THIN, cut however you would like and place on a greased cookie sheet. Bake on 325 for 10 min or until golden brown. Let cool fully before using with dip. I made a "guac" chopped onion, chopped avocado and garlic salsa. It was divine!! Perfect game day food!!
Here is the full spread! What a successful and healthy day of football. Such yummy paleo treats!
